Interpretation of the Qur'an that started with the appearance of the Qur'an on the scene of history refers to a continuous act lasting to the doomsday. So, we will deal with a figure whose interpretation of the Qur'an could be considered under the title of commentary of allusion (ishari), Jalal al-Din al-Dawani. We will first present the tafsir works of al-Dawani. Then we will edit his exegesis of the surah of al-Fatiha based on six manuscript copies. Also we will try to evaluate his work. When we look at al-Dawani's studies of Qur'anic exegesis, we can see al-Dawani chooses a specific issue as the subject. So, his commentary of the surah of al-Fatiha is a sample of this. The commentary is consists of two parts. The first part examines the relationship of God to creatures, while the second part is about the relationship of creatures to God. Al-Dawani first differentiates the essence of God from His attributes, then studies on the quality of relationship of Divine attributes to creatures in the first part of the commentary of the surah. In the second part, he questions the possibility of reaching God from the world of abundance. Here, he states that arifs, the owners of sayr u suluk, and ahl al-istidlal who hit the right are bestowed favor while he describes those who could not go beyond the curtain of abundance as those who are subjects of God's anger and who go astray.
